[Hello, Asgard. You all must have noticed the fog cleared, right?

Well, now you can hear this familiar quiet voice, more shaky than normal, but for completely different reasons that aren't half negative- but not that positive either. Hanako still can't believe her eyes when she's looked out the window this morning.]

The colors... the c-colors returned...

D-does that mean that we... we can go back home now? Or...

[There's hesitation, and then an abrupt click as she puts the feed off.]

Okay! Color's back. We did our job. Now send us home! You listenin', god guys? We all got shit to do back home, so let's get goin' here. Or am I suppose to click my heels and say "There's no place like home"?

Anyway, if they ain't gonna help, I'm finding my own way out. Who's with me?

[There is some muttered Italian as Caterina pokes at the hologram screen, not sure how to use it. It's very rude Italian. Not family friendly. Then...]

Ah! Pezzo di merda! Is it working? Obviously something is happening, but I have never seen anything like this before. How... no, that is not important right now.

What is important is that I am told I am here to bring color to this city. Perché? Is the color you have not good enough for you? It looks acceptable to me. And if you are expecting me to thank you for freeing me from the Borgia stronzi, you'll get no such thanks from me. Abduction is abduction, no matter who is doing it.

So then. Who is in charge here and how do I go about explaining this gross misunderstanding to him?


((OOC: I apologize if I murder the Italian language at any point in time. I'm working from Google Translate, I don't know a lick of Italian personally.))

[ the video flickers on to a table--it looks to be in Odin, where the Eleventh Doctor is sitting with one leg slung over the other, what looks to be a Scrabble handbook in one hand.

there's a game currently in progress, letters clearly seen. except they're a bit different from what you might qualify as letters. he flips to the last page with a huff and sets it back down, then laces his fingers together. ]

Now, if you lot have played Scrabble before, good! If not, you really ought to expand your board game database, it's really quite fun! Better than Monopoly--who likes Monopoly? Monopolies were outlawed for a reason.

Rubbish game.

[ oh, right, he should stop rambling. ]

So! Me and... myselves, Ninth and Tenth, are in a bit of a pickle: should "of Rassilon" be acceptable as a suffix? It's as commonplace as "ing" in the English language.

Sort of. Maybe. It's got to count.

I'm sure of it.

[ ooc: the other two Doctors, (andsowasi) and (tardisblue) will also be responding to comments, so don't fear if we skip someone! ]

[Watson's leaning in the window of his newly colourful clinic, eyes on the street outside before turning back to the feed with a rueful grimace.]

It seems that the sudden return of colour is more than superficial -- none of this morning's patients have shown up for their scheduled appointments. Rather odd that ... still, let's make the most of it! If anyone needs the staff of the Yakuzen Clinic, you'll find us at the Gefion Park.

[Filtered to Staff and Friends of the Clinic (ie. people who helped out after Zen left/patients/interested parties)]

As a thank you for all your hard work, I've ordered a couple of picnic hampers from the bakery. I thought we might relax, get to know each other a little better and simply enjoy the sunshine and colour. I hope you'll all come -- if the god's letter is to be believed we might not be here much longer ... and there is someone I should like you all to meet.

See you at the park.

((ooc: And log here! All welcome!))

['Lo there, Asgard. Yet again, it's one of those friendless losers on the feed. Shiage is looking amazingly chipper and filled with goofy smiles. Looks like something good has finally happened to him.]

Heh heh heh! Man, I never thought that I would be seein' everything in color again. I was getting really bored of everything bein' in black and white. I'm still getting used to looking at things normally again, buuut... There's even more good news!

Kisaragi Chihaya is my girlfriend!!! Sorry, guys. But the best idol in the world is off the market. The rest of them are all fair game, though~ I'll wish you all luck in your future romantic adventures! [Yup. Reaaaaal mature, Shiage. He might as well be doing a dance and singing about it. It's obvious that he's super happy, but then he realizes something--]

Wait a minute! If the color came back, then that means--

[Annnd cue him bending over with a mock spotlight over him.]



Ngggh... It can't fuckin' end like this! It's like getting "Ultima Weapon" on a video game and not usin' it on the final boss! It's horribly anti-climatic! They're just tossing the colors everywhere and callin' it a day!? IT'S AS IF THE ADVENTURE UP TO THIS POINT MEANT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

I mean... There's still a lot that I wanna do here...! So, what if we really do haveta go back?
